The first time I seen this scam was around 2002... my wife send me the tell me we are getting money!.... the email she sent me had about 400 email address in it.... so I'm now sending them email to my whitehat site....

The benefit from sending this scam is the hype it causes. Their email becoming viral is looked at as an accomplishment to them. Think about it. The first guy that pulled this crap had his email floating around for at least a year. 100,000's of people fell for it and he got joy from it. Silly, but each to their own.
